Sam Smith Covers Donna Summer

Sam Smith has released a cover of Donna Summer’s hit pop song “I Feel Love.”

The 27-year-old British singer recorded a reimagined version of the 1977 single with Guy Lawrence, a member of electronic music duo Disclosure.

“Highest song I’ve ever f*cking sang. But a joy. I hope you all like it xx,” Smith tweeted.

Smith, who publicly came out as gay in 2014 and as non-binary in 2017, said they consider “I Feel Love” an “anthem” in the LGBT community.

“As a queer person, ‘I Feel Love’ has followed me to every dance floor in every queer space from the minute I started clubbing,” they wrote. “This song to me is an anthem of our community and it was an honour and most importantly so much fun to have a go at it.”
